Has anyone figured out how to string an 80 and 160 meter inverted vee off the same tower
WITHOUT them interacting.  Mine really tend to detune each other, making length trimming
near impossible.  Are there any published notes on adding a trap in a 160 dipole to make it tune 80?
I've tried various configurations -- and even tried loading my tower as a vertical.   I get
a great SWR but it doesn't get out.  Ideas?
